Analyzing the HCI design pattern variety

Published:16 March 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) design patterns are an often used tool for developing user interfaces. They render the communication among stakeholders more efficient and allow for a faster design of user interfaces. However, today there exists a vast amount of patterns written by many different authors, published on Web repositories, in scientific papers, and books. This causes the form or structure of the patterns to vary according to the authors' preferences. This paper presents the results of a survey that analyses the structure and relationships of HCI design patterns from 21 different design pattern resources.
